Abstract
The round-trip time of the light pulse limits the maximum detectable vibration frequency response range of phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry (-OTDR). Unlike the uniform laser pulse interval in conventional -OTDR, we randomly modulate the pulse interval so that an equivalent sub-Nyquist additive random sampling (sNARS) is realized for every sensing point of the long interrogation fiber. For a -OTDR system with 10 km sensing length, the sNARS method is optimized by theoretical analysis and Monte Carlo simulation, and the experimental results verify that a wideband sparse signal can be identified and reconstructed. Such a method can broaden the vibration frequency response range of -OTDR, which is of great significance in sparse-wideband-frequency vibration signal detection.
